Mojo Monday #209 - October 3, 2011 - Butterfly

Are you getting your Mojo on? This is the sketch challenge for Monday October 3. Top picks this week receive a set of Verve stamp set of their choice! You can get the details here: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/.

I just got the Papillon set of stamps from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous and used them as my starting point for the challenge this week. I like how the images look like they are from an insect field guide.

I put the focus of my card - the butterfly - in neutral to draw your eye to it. I used the K & Co. Tim Coffey Blossomwood paper collection because I like the "fabric" look it has and how it lends a little texture to my card.

Of course, you know me, I had to put some bling in there somewhere. If I'm going to make a card I want it to be extra special and a little sparkle never hurts! I included a big fat two color seam binding bow with a big gem bauble in the center, and a swirl of turquoise gems to give my butterfly a little magic. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek! I hope you are having a great day!

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
